recently there have been several claims made regarding prophecies that came true.
i've not personally seen a prophecy that i would consider as having come true.
i would consider the following as the requirements to say something is a prophecy and evaluate whether or not it came true:.
There are four basic metrics that a prophecy has to meet:
1.) You have to be able to verify it was made before the event happened.
As I wrote earlier, I specifically excluded that one. For the purposes of this discussion, we are allowing that criteria as a given.

Poe's law got me, DoC!

we met them when i was a christian and we have kept in touch.
they had a few other friends there as well, including the new church pastor and his wife.
Yes there are holes, there are holes in the argument that God SHOULD do soemthing too, but these tend to be holes that are emotion based and from the POV that we, humans, want God to fix things our way and that we can't/won't understand why He doesn't and we think that He can't possibly have a good reason for allowing things to be the way they are.
You are falsely ascribing a view that many don't hold and dismissing arguments as emotional. Those are both strawmen. You can do better. I hope.

Name one and be specific. Is there a reason you often write so much on faith, the religion and the Bible and yet seem so reticent to name even a single specific prophecy that came true?

All evidence points to a global flood as described in the Bible NOT happening.

I am not debating when they were recorded, I am asking anyone to name a specific prophecy that came true exactly as described.

I can't think of one, GMJALMT. Can you name one? Did you come here to say nothing? If they all came true, this should be easy for you.

We simply do NOT KNOW why God decides to not intervene and we can simplu express POSSIBLE views, which is what I have done.
Your answer is, as I said, "It's a mystery". That's been covered extensively on this thread.
The thing is, proctect them from what? suffering? pain? death? all things that are part of the natural process of life and existence.
In the Christian world view, those are things that God set in motion. This can be reduced down to "protect them from himself". It's a failed argument.
In short we want God to make is immortal, we want no pain or suffering and want God to intervene so there is no pain and suffering and death, ever.
Why don't you address the question rather than attempt to tell other people what they want?

GMJALMT, you are making a theological argument and preaching. This is a historical discussion. Since you brought it up, though, what specific OT prophecies came true?
As a side conversation, I am curious how you think the gospels were for Israel since they were written by Christians and in Greek.

You might want to add another criterion for what you consider to be a valid prophecy. This one seems obvious, but it disqualifies a huge number of bible prophecies:
The prophecy must be verifiably recorded prior to the event that it predicts.
I thought about that, but it automatically disqualifies every prophecy I can think of. I didn't want to start out with a big giant "No".
